Instagram against Twitter

Surprisingly for many, Facebook has handed Instagram a huge cheque. However, it proved to make sense – apart from data mining, Internet users share photos on Facebook, and Instagram was on the up and up with its automatic shot filtering, which makes a simple iPhone snap look decent. Although Instagram’s popularity soared on Twitter as well, the latter has put a stop to that without explanation. This means that Twitter users won’t be able to properly display the pictures via its site or applications, but instead redirected from tweets to Instagram’s website. This deprives users of the quick view option they have enjoyed from its inception. Apparently, Instagram believes that a picture is worth more than 140 characters, though the company only said that disabling Twitter integration made sense at the moment.
